The site gives details of the various works and, in many cases, includes an image of the completed works. The site is also accessible through the MyNotts App.

Residents can continue to report highways issues for inspection and repair, by telephone to the NCC contact centre 0300 500 8080 or online, or by using the MyNotts app. These three routes all create an immediate report for investigation by the highways teams.
